June 03, (THEWILL) – Arsenal has confirmed that attacker, Alexandre Lacazette, will leave the club in June when his contract expires.
From the moment he moved to north London in 2017, up to the 2021/2022 season, the 31-year-old was one of Arsenal’s key sources of goals. The French forward was generally expected to leave the club this summer, with a return to Ligue 1 and former club Lyon on the cards.
Arteta thanked Lacazette for his commitment to Arsenal over the years and commended the Frenchman’s leadership talents in a press statement on the club’s official website that read: “Laca has been a fantastic player for us. He’s been a real leader on and off the pitch and has been a very important influence to our younger players.
“His commitment with us has been exceptional and we wish him and his family success and happiness.”
Edu, the club’s Technical Director, echoed these sentiments, noting: “A big thank you to Laca from everyone at Arsenal. He’s been really important for us. He will always be part of the Arsenal family and we wish him well for everything in the future.”
